I found this movie rather boring. After reading what it was about and seeing the genres it was classified as I thought it was going to be like Gremlins, which apparently some people would agree but I wouldn't. It's said to be a comedy but I didn't really find it funny, unlike the bar scene in Gremlins or what have you. It just seemed like an average sci- fi/horror film like a slightly better executed Hobgoblins. It wasn't that original, its kind of what you would expect if man eating aliens would come to a small town.

i thought they did alright with the critters themselves, with how they moved and looked but it wasn't enough for me to really be that entertained. Maybe a decent movie to watch and make fun of (like MST3K) but worth a pass if you are actually looking to see an entertaining film. not really sure how it became a sort of classic. Maybe its just one of those films you had to enjoy when you were younger to enjoy later in life.
